Topic: ROTS Figure Sales (or price hikes)! (Read 16484 times)

2 for $11 isn't bad. It's better than KB at the momment. I'm also wondering if K-Mart has much to re-stock with. I would think that they were carefull not to over order this time and didn't anticipate that these would actually sell.

As you probably read, our last Kmart completely missed the ROTS release and a week later still doesn't have any rots figures. They are still trying to get rid of three bespin leias and a wookie senator.

ahh TRU far behind as always. there sale prices don't even match the regular price of the figures at most stores, and the prices on other items just match the price of those items elsewhere. no wonder TRU was on the verge of bankruptcy, they can't comprehend how to compete with other stores...

I didn't know if this had been posted in another forum yet (and again, the idea of "Sale Price" is relative here), but KB is having an online sale where if you buy 3 ROTS figures, you can get the fourth free. Of course, this still comes out to what you'd pay for four figures at any other retailer, but it's still worth a look.

Amazon.com has both the Anakin and Clone Trooper EVOLUTION sets listed as coming out on FRIDAY, April 15th. They also have all 3 of the new Unleashed sets -- Vader, Sidious vs. Yoda, and that Sith Chick as coming out the same day.

Since midnight madness I had not gone any farther than 15 minutes to hunt for Star Wars figures. Today I went to Champaign and at Target & Wal-Mart the basic figures are $5.24. In my area an hour south they are $5.88 at Wal-Mart and I don't have a Target around here. The difference may seem small, but if you buy 4 figures that's a $2.56 difference and definitely adds up. How much do they cost where you live?

Every WM and Target I've been in lately has had the figures at 5.24. K-Mart continues to stick to their 6.99 price and I have yet to see any of their figures (which they stocked two weeks ago for the first time since a lone case of Collection 1 on April 2nd) move with the exception of the Red Royal Guard.

Back when Target was having their 5 dollar sale that first week, the WM next door marked figures down to 4.94, but as soon as they went back to 5.99 at Target, so they went to 5.24 at WM. Strangely, when Target dropped theirs, the WM next door didn't follow suit.

Something else I noticed was that TRU.com has raised their figure prices up to 6.99 while all the store reports still have them at 5.99. For a while there it looked like the Collection 1 figures were still 5.99 and the Collection 2 were 6.99, but several times lately, I've seen the former go up to 6.99 as well.

KM is as much as $7.99 I think some places. Outrageous. I have found that K-Mart will, at times, pricematch. They fight you on it toof and nail, but they will pricematch if you raise enough hell.

I swear they hate to see me show up there anymore with receipts or flyers from other stores, haha.

My parents are a bit older... Like to take my mother on senior citizen discount day and get a little extra % off the figures too. Don't tell mom I let that leak here though or she'll be PO'd.

My KM's actually put product out early and then sold through a lot of it. Funny that they got a jump on everyone that way. They are still pretty low on most figures and vehicles as well, and haven't overdone ordering it seems. Maybe they will drop prices and be a good place to shop again sometime.

My WM's, Targets, and TRU's are the same as everyone else though... $5.24 or $5.99 at TRU. TRU I rarely go to since they shot themselves in the foot on 4/2 stuff, and aren't really giving me much reason to go there.

KB just flat out sucks. Everything is outrageously priced. No wonder that store is destined to be closed. They earned it.
